Happy Sunday Husky fans. The Huskies saw their first wave of official visitors head to campus this weekend, and while the list got trimmed down a little for who was on campus it is still an important visit weekend. There were 3 un-committed players who made their way onto campus and the Huskies are doing well with all three prospects. In addition to the 3 un-committed players the Huskies also had 4 committed players on campus to help the staff recruit.
4 star wide receiver Dontay Tyson from Peoria HS, AZ headed to Montlake for an official visit. The Huskies have been after Tyson for a while and he recently narrowed his recruitment down to UW, and Texas A&M. Listed at around 6’1” and 190 pounds Tyson has a college frame currently. When you watch his film you can see that he is physically advanced and looks like the best player on the field when he’s playing. He can play inside or outside and he recently clocked a 10.77 100 meter time this spring. It sounds like the Huskies are doing very well this weekend with him and I wouldn’t be shocked if we saw a decision come soon from Tyson and his official visit to A&M cancelled. Last season he accounted for 448 yards receiving on 37 catches and 7 touchdowns in 7 games.
4 star (composite ranking) cornerback Kamil Loud from Bishop Gorman HS, NV was on campus this weekend for his official visit. The Huskies have been recruiting Loud for several months, but UW isn’t the only school who has been after him with schools like Cal, Utah, and Miami also after him. Listed at around 6’1” and 170 pounds Loud has a good frame to play outside or at nickel in college. Rated as the 60th best cornerback in the country by 247sports, Loud reminds me of current Husky Jeron Jones (very active around the ball). The Huskies would love to add a couple of cornerbacks to their 2027 class and Loud is a prospect who has been rising on recruiting boards over the last several months. In 9 games last season Loud had 18 tackles and 3 PD’s on a loaded Bishop Gorman team. I like where the Huskies stand with Loud and when cornerback coach John Richardson hones in on a prospect he usually lands his top targets.
Last but not least among the un-committed prospects on campus was 3 star edge Chaz Gray from St Joseph Regional HS, NJ. Gray, who is rated as the 33st best edge in the country by 247sports, was recently offered by the Huskies and getting him on campus so quickly was a big coup for the Huskies. It’s no secret that coach Fisch and his staff have cast a wide net in their recruitment strategy and Gray is a perfect example of how that strategy may pay off. Listed at 6’4” and around 250 pound Gray has a great frame and a huge wingspan which helps him disengage blockers and create havoc in the backfield. The Huskies don’t currently have any commits from an “edge” recruit yet, but if they can land Gray they will have addressed one of the bigger needs in the class fairly early. I suspect the Huskies are doing pretty well with him and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were able to land him after an official visit (his first time to Seattle).
The committed prospects who made their way to Montlake included: 4 star quarterback Blake Roskopf who was likely be in the ear of Tyson all weekend. 4 star running back Jeremy Adeyanju will also be campus for an official visit as will Rokopf’s teammate 4 star wide receiver Zerek Sidney. The trio of Roskopf, Adeyanju, and Sidney are all from Arizona and that was likely a strategic decision from the staff (as well as hosting Tyson who is from Arizona). The Huskies also had 3 star linebacker Titus Osterman on campus to help the rest of the commitments acting as recruiters for the un-committed players.
